I WANNA RIDE :(

[Toogoofy317]

Hey man, you make it down here and I will let you take my beloved "flck" out on a ride!

Yeah, I was turned down for medicaid when being evaluated for a heart transplant. But, they told me if i had a kid then I would be approved for medicaid?!?!?!? So yeah, let's bring a kid into the world I can't care for and if I did try to have one it would probably kill me. Now that's how we solve a problem in Fl! Even the health department turned me down! And not one cardiologist would touch me much less check my defibrillator!

2. be a minority
3. have cancer
4. have high maintenace type illness. evidently diabetes isnt. ill be damned lol
5. draw a crazy check, or a check of any kind
6. any combination of the above

that "group of politicians in nashville sre as hellwont be gettign my vote when its time for re-election. iwas sent a letter from governor wanting my support for his re-election. i told him 1. im not liberal ( now frankie dont go blaming this on anything. i didnt say ALL liberals were like this. but some however are. ( this seems to be the case within most groups. most are good, but some are not)
2. you cut me, wiht my med needs off of the medicaid program, and 3 you want to spend  aorund100 million to make an underground banquet hall at the mansion? sir, you can go f%$k yourself. cause youve already f%$ked me

Yeah,

Our system is broken. It doesn't seem like the one's who really need the help can get it. I'm not banging anybody with AIDS or Cancer but if you get one of those diseases and it seems like they fall over backwards to try and help you!

When I worked for Orlando Regional I was still waiting for the insurance to kick in and got a huge bill at MY hospital. I had a pulmonary embolism while working waited four hours in my own ER they finally took me back when I crashed o2 was 83% and bp 60/20 I ended up in the trauma bay and three weeks in hospital. So, I went to the financial aid specialist there and they said they would be glad to help me. She then looked at me and said "you work here?" "yeah, but I have no insurance and meet the financial eligibility". "Well, we don't help those that are employed here!" What?!?!? you mean you will take care of complete strangers but when it comes to one of your own that meets all of the requirements you turn your back on them. The only thing I could figure out is because they know they will get your money 'cause they would deduct $50 every paycheck! Who cares if you can't eat or afford your prescriptions as long as the hospital get's there's. They wouldn't even give me the "cash" discount because I was paying weekly! 

I'm do disillusioned with our health care that I don't believe it can ever be fixed in my lifetime. Honestly, I don't think anyone in power even wants too! I mean it is not their problem. All of the represenative and senators get SWEET health care packages and if I'm not mistaken they get it for free and for life! Sooo, if you got that insurance what is wrong? I like to use the analogy of the doctor who prescribes a nasty procedure and they say this won't hurt a bit. How the hell do you know? Have you had it done to you? I think all doctor's should have to experience some of the tests that they put their patients through. Nothing really invasive but maybe they should try out the prep for a colonoscopy! Drink the Ct scan krap or have to sit for hours on end in a room for a ten minute visit where they learn absolutly nothing and have to pay a huge amount of money for it. My doctor this past weekend prescribed a horrible med (levaquin) that caused palpitations, severe vomitting, stomach pain, fever, mood swings. I wonder if he would still prescribe it if he had to take it for an infection!

Sorry I'm ranting.

Oh nothing like a good rant, Eh? gets teh blood flowin 

[Toogoofy317]

UGH, the hits just keep on coming. I went to my primary physician today because I was feeling cruddy with a sore throat and congestion. I have a nasty case of bronchitis and not allowed to work for the next four days! When is this krap gonna end. I just wanna feel good so I can safely hop on the bike and have some fun! Can't even take a stinkin decongestant because of my lousy heart! And woohoo more antibiotics to run me down as if I'm not already.

I need a vacation from being sick

I would say if it werent for the sore throat, jalapeno or habanero peppers work wonders, so does hard liquor as well
